Epilogue

These feet have carried me as far as I will go
 Across the field to where the wind had ceased to blow
 That day, when sorrow filled the air and all the blackbirds scattered everywhere
 And you had gone as far as you would go
 In my reflection, you are staring back at me
 My eyes are mirrors of the dreams you used to see
 But now I'm fumbling in the dark, where all the memories are far apart
 And there I lost the forest for the trees
 In the gloaming of the day
 The words are darkening away
 Take another look
 There's no more pages in this book
 The epilogue was written in the dirt
 The story's at an end
 It's time to put away my pen
 And join the you by the earth
 There was a tremble in the marrow of my bones
 Distorted and contorted like a worn out megaphone
 And through the bellow and the bluster, I was shaking, I was flustered
 With a body full of star-crossed chromosomes
 And through the clatter there emerged a single voice
 A familiar sound I hadn't heard since I was just a boy
 And all at once my fears were lifted as the echoes slowly drifted
 To the center of the amplifying void
 And I followed like a child, so carefree and so wild
 Well there's music everywhere
 The voices carry through the air
 But I'm not listening
 Take another look
 There's no more pages in this book
 The epilogue was written in the dirt
 The story's at an end
 It's time to put away my pen
 And join the you by the earth
